Old Mother Tongue, directed by Mark Trifunovic
A Deaf man grapples with his sense of identity in a hearing world and is taken on a fantastic journey through time to one of the most significant events in Deaf history: the Milan Conference on the Education of the Deaf in 1880 when sign language was banned from use in education.
Step Into My World, directed by Nicola Di Capua
A scenario is created: a one-day shoot where the entire crew is Deaf, except an aspiring hearing production coordinator who comes to work without knowing the life-changing experience that awaits him.
